In an effort to optimize the transportation of oil and gas, the pipeline industry is developing large-diameter, thick-walled pipelines that can withstand low temperatures and high pressures. In this study, three X70 steel plates of similar chemistry, ranging in thickness from 13.5 mm to 22 mm, were subjected to drop-weight tear and Charpy V-notch tests to determine the effects of plate thickness and microstructure on the formation of separations and impact behavior. Constraint induced by specimen thickness appears to dictate the loc
